Illustration & Animation for Bear & Breakfast’s Demo.

Had the lovely opportunity of animating a series of 30 second spots with Bigfish.tv. Audio has been redacted as they are part of an educational program offered by Bravehearts.

A few vignettes of living and working at home during the pandemic lockdown for DOR Magazine.

Had the opportunity to mix frame by frame animation with motion graphics for this short animated intro. It was featured as the opening for the live edition of the Pe Bune podcast in Bucharest, Romania. 

A set of 15 animated stickers commissioned by GIPHY.

An illustration for Funky Citizens’ campaign to encourage people to sign up as observers during elections.

A series of small capsule illustrations with various themes.

Had tons of fun creating the Key Visual illustrations for this festival ID for Schlagerparade. Created under the guidance of art director and graphic designer Rares Cinteza who also gave shape to the logo and all the layouts for the festival printable and online materials. 

Move or Die launched early 2019 on Playstation with this animated trailer which I had the pleasure of working on.

A series of personal images from the fall of 2020.

Had the awesome opportunity to work on Monster Prom's new logo & a short animation for the ending of the teaser trailer. Really looking forward to playing this game and you should too! 

I had the amazing opportunity to work on The Power of Storytelling's visual ID again in 2017, alongside art director and partner Rareș Cinteză. We created key visuals in both static and animated form, a 2 minute long animation for the start of the conference, speaker portraits and various other materials for print and online use before and during the conference. Check out the POS website for more information and be sure to watch our animated short. 

I was commissioned by GIPHY Studios to create an animated pop-up portrait of Sir Elton John for his official page. I had tons of fun with this one. The rough animation was done in Animate CC and the final render in Photoshop CC. 

I had tons of fun with the visual id for this year’s Bucharest Children’s Theatre Festival. We went with tons of pink and bright colors which was right on brand for me.

A key visual designed for the Childrențs Theater Festival 2017. The graphic design was done by Rares Cinteza. We wanted to created a modular illustration and use various elements on the numerous print and online materials necessary for the festival. We ended up using the islands in many layouts and combinations, as well as the characters and vegetation. 

I was stoked to be asked to do a tutorial for Character Design Quarterly, a magazine that I've been buying religiously for the past couple of years. It's a step-by-step process of redesigning a character trope and it's printed in the winter edition of 2019 (#10)!

I'm featured alongside some amazing artists starting with the absolutely incredible cover art by Tom Booth, Jose Ciceraro, Kelsey Buzzell and many more. This was kind of a dream come true. 

A series of GIFs created in Adobe Animate CC for fun and experimentation. 

It was an awesome experience to create the Moqups visual identity alongside their team. We even made some seasonal illustrations including a Halloween version of the site and a Christmas card featuring the Moqups characters. 

Created for ROD, a Romanian design focused brand of Carturesti, this sketchbook was tailored to what I'd want out of such a product. Indulging in my never-ending obsession with creepy crawlies and the color pink, it's filled with great quality watercolor paper and has a hardcover on the bottom to support drawing in any environment. 

A set of three imaginary book covers created for Red Cross Romania's fund raising campaign in collaboration with Mullen Lowe. Designed to be similar to local and internation folk stories (The princess and the pea, Prâslea the strong and the golden apples, Jack and the Bean Stalk) with the food-related elements removed from their titles and imagery in order to raise awareness that for thousands of school children in Romania lunch is quite a different story. 

A series of GIFs created in Adobe Photoshop. 

I had the pleasure of creating The Power of Storytelling's 2016 visual ID from scratch. The concept of daring to go beyond the beaten path inspired me to create a series of environments that served as key visuals and represented different types of experiences that one might have in life. 

A continuously growing series of black and white comics I make for fun. 

I was commissioned to create an illustration to cover the entire food truck of Burger Van, a very popular local burger establishment. They wanted something colorful and yummy, but with a twist. I ended up pushing the shapes a bit, using minimal textures and colors while playing around with some delicious elements. 

A product created for GummyCat Studio, this limited edition silk scarf was produced and sold in October 2017. Inspired by autumn elements and Stranger Things, the illustration featured painterly elements with a slightly dark and weird tone. The animation created in collaboration with Rares Cinteza was really fun to make too. 

A thematic illustration and sticker variants created for the local Creative Mornings branch.  The theme of the month was magic, so I couldn't help delving into the obscure arts for this edition. 

Working side by side with Paula Rusu and Rares Cinteza, I created the KV illustration for Visual Playground 2016. We wanted something bold and fun to express the exuberance of this edition and than can easily be spun into an entire universe of characters for all our print and online materials. We heavily debated the background color before going for an electric yellow that ultimately everyone loved. 

Key Visual illustrations commissioned by TOMI, a local ketchup brand. These served as KVs for their social media and festival campaign in 2016. The brief required something fun, youthful and featuring food that goes great with ketchup, of course. 

A holiday wrapping paper pattern created for the Cărturesti bookstore chain. Featuring Dancer and Prancer and Comet and Blixen and... you get the point.
